Wash and cut the chicken into bite size pieces. I have used chicken breast here. Boneless works best in this dish.
Heat a nonstick pan with oil, temper with cumin and mustard seeds.
Add onions and saute well. Next, add finely chopped green chilies.
Add the chicken pieces and mix well.
Add all the spice powders and combine.
Add water and simmer with a lid covered.
Cook till all water gets evaporated and the masala coats the chicken.
Check if the chicken is cooked and garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.
Serve as a side dish in a meal or serve as such as a starter.
